Charlie Bird reveals he's planning to clone his voice as speech deteriorates | JOE.ie

The former RTÉ journalist was diagnosed with the illness last year and it has since started to have an effect on his speech.It has now gotten to a point where his own dog Tiger doesn’t recognise his voice, but thanks to modern technology, it won’t be like this for much longer.

The 72-year-old took to Twitter to thank Keith Davey from Marino Software who is helping him use this new technology to get his voice back, and Bird hopes that others in his position would be able to avail of this.
